Inclusion, integration and stigmatization of people with disabilities in Polish education

Abstract

The purpose of that study undertaken considerations is to show the diversity of the phenomenon of disability and make it the center of thinking about education. The educational experiences, opinions and needs of people with disabilities can become the basis of reconstruction or reconceptualization of education. Access to education for people with disabilities is still problematic; this is one of the most restrictive social barriers. The author argues that a disabled person educated in a particular type of school receives the education available, not one that would satisfy her expectations and aspirations. In the learning process they will be perfect prepared to the role of people with disabilities. Disability becomes a basic category of social identity formation and leads to spoiled identity.
